Chapter 100
quan zhisui spoke in one breath, leaving doctor zhang speechless.
after a long silence, doctor zhang said, "many children with psychological issues i've encountered are actually the least affected in their families. i understand your situation now."
quan zhisui nodded and asked, "can i continue with my homework now?"
"of course!" doctor zhang stood up with a smile. "you must work hard and get into a good university."
quan zhisui saw the doctor out, locked the door, and sat back at her desk, lost in thought.
she fiddled with six coins in her hand, creating a faint jingling sound as they clinked together.
as doctor zhang left the room, her expression was serious.
the zuo family's situation was more complicated than any case she had ever diagnosed.
the child wasn’t sick at all—she was bright and clever. it was the family that seemed deeply troubled, deliberately sabotaging her future!
downstairs, zuo zhiyu was waiting eagerly.
when he saw the doctor coming down, he immediately approached and asked, "well? is it obvious? does she have a mental illness? mania, right? does she need to be institutionalized and given electroshock therapy? she should be hospitalized! immediately!"
"your daughter is not ill," doctor zhang interrupted his excitement.
zuo zhiyu exclaimed, "what? how is that possible!"
doctor zhang continued, "she’s doing her homework. she loves studying and is emotionally stable. she’s a good kid."
faced with such a bizarre family and still able to calmly recount her experiences while focusing solely on her studies, quan zhisui was clearly a rational and emotionally stable person!
zuo zhiyu exploded in rage, shouting, "you quack! i paid a fortune for your diagnosis, and this is all you have to say?! i’ll sue you! i’ll report you!"
suppressing her frustration, doctor zhang chose her words carefully. "mr. zuo, many families experience conflicts due to complicated relationships. between father and daughter—"
"shut up!" zuo zhiyu cut her off, grabbing an ashtray and smashing it on the ground, looking as if he was about to attack her.
doctor zhang’s expression darkened. "mr. zuo, you might need some psychological counseling yourself."
zuo zhiyu would never agree to that. he cursed and shoved the doctor out, even threatening to shut down the hospital.
the commotion downstairs was loud. zuo zichen had been watching from the staircase, frowning the entire time.
from his perspective, his father truly seemed like the one with a mental disorder.
as for his sister...
zuo zichen quickly slipped back upstairs and knocked on quan zhisui’s door.
she opened it promptly and let him in.
as soon as he entered, zuo zichen blurted out, "sis! why did dad bring a doctor to diagnose you? he almost hit the doctor downstairs just now!"
quan zhisui replied, "he thinks i have violent tendencies."
zuo zichen hesitated, "well, that’s true, but i think you’re always calm when you hit someone. you don’t say much, but it’s terrifying for me."
the coins landed in a specific arrangement.
the divination result was: *dize lin!*
quan zhisui immediately smiled and picked up her winter break homework to continue.
*there’s a benefactor. no need to worry.*
not long after she started her homework, her phone lit up with a new message.
[wei shixu: i’ve found something, though it’s not about your mother. it’s a lead from ten years ago, overseas, related to zuo zhiyu’s illegitimate child. you might be able to use it.]
quan zhisui stared at the message for a long time.
*the benefactor? wei shixu?!*
she had heard about the illegitimate child from fang yue, but she hadn’t expected wei shixu to uncover it directly.
a ten-year-old illegitimate child. how could she use that?
what did it mean?
quan zhisui initially wanted to meet wei shixu to discuss it, but she suddenly sensed movement outside her window.
so she sat back at her desk and sent a text.
[quan zhisui: i’m being monitored. let’s talk at school.]
zuo zhiyu had gone all out this time, not only hiring a psychologist but also setting up surveillance and spies outside quan zhisui’s window.
there might even be hidden cameras in her room.
her phone lit up again.
[wei shixu: do you need me to handle it?]
[quan zhisui: no, i’ll move into the dorm next semester.]
she was quick-witted and decisive, adapting to the situation as it unfolded.
however, moving into the dorm required a parent’s signature, and that parent couldn’t be zuo zhiyu.
quan zhisui twirled her pen, deep in thought.
soon, she picked up her phone again and sent a message to zuo zichen.
[quan zhisui: tell your mom to come back soon. if she doesn’t, your dad might divorce her.]
[zuo zichen: what?!!]
[quan zhisui: look at your dad’s recent behavior—he’s ignoring you and spoiling his younger son. if your mom doesn’t return, she’ll become his ex-wife.]
[zuo zichen: i’ll call her right away!]
quan zhisui put her phone down and went back to her homework.
